COMMENTS: They say things happen in threes, and certainly the Dodgers are sporting the Trifecta of Crappiness going into tonight's game: (1) a crushingly bad Interleague record (2-8), (2) a mysteriously elusive offense (scoring two or fewer runs in nine of 21 games this month) and (3) a capably efficient opposing pitcher (Floyd is averaging 6.5 innings per start this year).

So what's a Dodger fan to do? Pass the buck, of course. SoSG AC worked his magic in Sunday's win over Cleveland, but I dropped the ball in last night's loss. SoSG Sax scored some sweet seats for tonight's game and will hopefully relight the torch. Then maybe we can retire this random cliché generator I've been using.

Hell of an effort from Stults tonight. The White Sox lineup can be pretty potent, and he's held them to four hits (none for extra bases) through eight innings. Pierzynski grounded out on Stults' 100th pitch of the night, so I don't know if he'll be back, but color me impressed either way.
